There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control
panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very
helpful when troubleshooting, & testing..
I'm not finding the one for for this model online.
At
our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
If it's a convection model, F5 would be a damper door sensing error, which is usually a bad switch.
More info on switches is
here.
One of the damper-related components, either the switch
or motor or the damper door may be binding.
The
damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode.
If the controller senses that the door is not in the right position, it
will shut down the cook cycle.If it's not a convection model, F5 is probably a sensor error.
On some models, "SENSOR ERROR" appears on the display when:
- Using
the sensor feature, the door was opened before steam could be detected.
Do not open the door until stream is sensed and time is shown counting
down on the display.
- Steam was not detected in the maximum amount of time. Use
Time Cook to heat for more time.
Here's some info from Samsung, which is the actual manufacturer of these ovens:
"Some models are
equipped with a sensor that can automatically adjust the oven's heating
time based on the amount of steam in the oven. If your microwave is
displaying E1, E4, or E5, there may be an issue with the gas sensor.
For an E1 error, press the Cancel button and check on the food.
"Other microwaves do not
give specific error messages and just display "8888" on the LED. If you
get this error message, your microwave needs service.
"If the message is
either ERROR or E-6, it indicates a mechanical fault.
"For all error indications, including the SE or 5E error,
try unplugging the microwave from the outlet for at least ten minutes
and then plug it back in. If the error persists, the microwave may
require service. Please use our ASC Locator to find your nearest Authorized Service
Center."Feel free to contact
